On my slug, which uses the internal ethernet, I see
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 12 15:14 /sys/class/net/eth0/device ->
../../../devices/platform/ixp4xx_mac.0/
So:
iface=$(ip route | grep '^default' | cut -d ' ' -f 5)
if ls -l /sys/class/net/$iface/device | grep -q ixp4xx_mac; then
echo "firmware in use"
else
echo "firmware not in use"
fi
Does this work on your slugs with and without the firmware? I have
an unreleased nslu2-utils in svn that adds this test.
